I think Jen is sick. I bet she is having trouble with her tooth.

Some thoughts on why America's Player is a bust: #1, BB's editing doesn't accurately report everything going on in the house. Their story line the first couple of weeks showed Dick sympathetically as he tried to reconnect with his daughter. Since Kail and Jen were attacked by Dick, voters targeted them for eviction. #2, The TV shows don't show what is current in the house; the footage shown is one to two days behind actual events. As we've seen, things can turn on a dime. The vote to evict Kail was in before TV viewers saw the tea incident, for example. #3, Eric is not really America's Player. We vote three times a week for Eric to accomplish a task. He has to live in the house 24/7 and we are not sitting on his shoulder whispering in his ear how to play the game and how to react as circumstances change. #4, Viewers are merely acting emotionally in their votes and are not seriously trying to play the game as though they were in the house. I might add that I believe live feed viewers and internet readers are doing the same. Otherwise, we would have agreed with Eric that getting Nick out was a good move strategically.

Rudy thats the big question. There is no strategy to it other than they convinced Amber she should be paranoid of Eric. They forget how important Eric is to all of them. Trust him or not he would be the continued target of the family and they'd all get a free pass until Eric was gone. If they did get even one of those donatos out they could all circle eric and get him out. Letting him go and trusting they will all remain safe is the STUPIDEST move. I swear it's that same defining moment as when Howie booted Sara.

quote:No Caprica but the Dick fans could see that losing Nick wrecked Dicks game so they wanted Nick to stay. Didn't you read the anger over Nick going. People saying now that other side will just pick off poor daddy and daughter. They wouldn't watch etc...
Really? I was angry over Nick going? I was saying the other side was going to pick off "poor daddy and daughter"? Um, nope, and in fact I didn't see a whole lot of anger anywhere except from those who hate Dick. I voted to evict Nick. The reason I did that was because I wanted Daniele to start playing the game. I didn't vote to evict Nick because Eric asked me to. I didn't do it to further Eric's game. I did it because I wanted to see OTHER PEOPLE PLAY THE GAME. I really get so tired of getting yelled at for not voting in ways that will advance Eric. I don't like Eric. Why should I want him in the final 2? I'm not even all that sure I want him on the jury. Eric made a poor decision, and now he has to live with it. Big whoop. So it screwed up your game. It sure didn't screw up mine!

Rudy, I could be wrong but it is more emotional than strategy. They think Eric has betrayed them and is playing both sides. Strategically, if they keep Eric (in their minds), there might be a good chance that Eric will go back/or is still in an alliance with Jen. They will have lost Dick/Dan in their alliance also. So that will be Dick/Dani/ Zach/Kail and possibly Eric against Dustin, Amber, Jameka, and Jess. By getting rid of Eric (again in their minds), it guarantees that they have lost one (who might be playing them) and keeping two on their side. That last scenario would still have the Dustin/Amber/Jam etc alliance with the majority of numbers. They all know out that they want Dick/Dani gone first and by then they will have the numbers to vote one of them out. Just saying this is what they could be thinking, but who really knows with this crew. And just have to add, poor Jess, she really has a lot on her mind. I would love to know what she is thinking!!

If they have another AP in the future they should show America their options to vote for AP.That way all these "he's not my player I didn't pick him" people will get on board since majority seems to have to rule.

I thought (while watching last night's show) that Dustin was the only one who "got it," that keeping Eric would keep the heat off of Jess, Dustin, Jam, and Amber, and I was impressed by Dustin. But now, they are all making promises to the Donato's to vote Eric out to "please" them! Silly, silly move by these guys. Very poor decision and movtivated by emotions. Not strategic at all!

Cruzlvr, I understand your point and appreciate it. That's what I wanted to know, I needed someone to break it down by numbers for me. Thanks

Caprica, the fact that I didn't get to pick Eric is only part of why I don't like him. I haven't liked Eric, personally, since the first day I saw him enter the house. I haven't liked his personality, I don't think he's cute, I think he was serious about wanting to be the only stud in the house, I don't think he's representing America (and instead is playing his own game), and on and on. The fact that I didn't get to pick him as AP is only one of a multitude of reasons. <self modded>

I agree Costa. His play is what messed him up, not that he was AP. And we are all free to vote anyway we want with no apologies. BTW I love your cat!

I would just like to pause the lively banter to point out that Jessica is doing housework. HOUSEWORK! That girl must be stressed.

Caprica I do agree with that to a degree. It would have been interesting to see what Eric could have done without the AP thing. I think it's hilarious he could be going because strategically it just really ranks up there as one bad move. It always happens every year where you go back to that one moment and I'd say this one would be it.

say what you might I use to like eric until he starting "talking" down to us..... and then the foul things that started to come out of his mouth. now think about this he is suppose to be America Player do you want him to be representing you when he does this?????? I Don't I was hopping he would change once he had secured the other 4 people to keep him but then he come up and starting tell anyone and everyone about Ambers abortions......just makes me sick so no am not wanting him out just because dani & dick want him out.....

In my opinion, the America's Player vote is messing up the game. This voting stuff is a ploy for CBS to make more money. They messed up the game with outside interference just as bad as the banner did and CBS didn't like that, so what is the difference?
